With roots in three continents, Holm had to stitch together his own understanding of culture. And so it has been with his music.
His musical journey has taken him back to the Delta blues, through the British invasion, back to Sinatra, over to Balkan folk, into Mongolian folk metal and even farther afield. As frontman for the Purple Fluffy Unicorns, he anchored a doom-laden proto-metal outfit until he went solo, when his alternative/indie acoustic sound began to take shape, backed by his own playing of guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums.
His side projects include a post-hardcore punk duo, two indie record labels, where he nurtures alternative voices, and working as an impresario. Since going solo, he has issued cover versions of songs in Mandarin, Danish, and English, one of which was picked up by a popular playlist in Germany.
